Menopause Type® Nine has symptoms that reveal decreased progesterone function with excessive testosterone function and adequate estradiol function. Health risks associated with Menopause Type® Nine may include anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer and heart disease. Since excessive testosterone affects blood glucose metabolism, there is also increased risk of insulin resistance and blood sugar disorders. Risks associated with insulin resistance include increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and endometrial cancer.
Determination of this menopause type® is made through the use of the Menopause Type® Questionnaire, and/or lab tests.
